Why do I invite cinemagoers to rewatch CRASH for the second
or seventh times ? Because it is simply a
brilliant movie based on a good script mastered by the director himself
called Paul Haggis.
Ever since Paul has
discovered writing in his thrities by his teacher, he writes impressive scenarios
such as million dollar baby directed by
Clint Eastwood known as a chef-d'oeuvre, primed 4 Oscars in 2005, as for Haggis got the Oscar
as the best script.
Yet, this one i mean
CRASH is too well twisted in writing that you feel you are watching an
intelligent film.Acoording Linda seger,
a good screenwriter goes through three
major things in writing in order to master a script ; a time of competition ,a time
of excellency and a time of mastering the craft . surely Paul has gone through these
elements and now he is really presenting
movie goers via his technique of writing and realization, a well formed script through which there is rythm and pace and unifromity .
Actors have sealed the
craft by performing nicely and understanding the theme brilliantly « RACISM
IN AMERICA’.It is all about U S citizens who are angry to each other belonging
to a different communities either Black s, whites, hispano-americans , Iranaians
or Chineses . Obviously , there are racist cops, black and white and White
American women angry and unstable in an alienated society where hatred prevail.The most difficult part of this
writing is how to gather so many protagonists and devellop their psycho in a
rythmic story . That is a nice work Paul.
